Types of Water Heaters

Advances in technology have revolutionized the water heater industry. New methods of obtaining and storing energy and creating heat for water have given property owner many choices to find the right solution for them.

  • Electric – Traditional Electric Tank water heaters are still the most popular water heater installed today
  • Gas – If you have a gas line coming into your house, consider running a line into you’re your water heater and purchasing a gas unit. Gas water heaters can save up to 50% per year compared to electric.
  • Tankless – Tankless water heaters can be a great alternative to traditional units. Water is heated “on-demand”. This saves both money and energy because hot water isn’t sitting on standby, losing heat the entire time.
  • Solar – Find out how to use the most renewable energy source we have access to, solar power. The Drain Team® sells and installs new solar hot water heaters.

Common Reason for Calling for a New Water Heater

Many Hudson Plumbing customers begin talking to us seeking our advice on what we can do to repair their current water heater. There are a few things we can replace on it to reclaim its usefulness after a problem but everything should be weighed against the age and type of unit it is.

If you have a leak somewhere in your water heater, we can make a successful repair depending on where the leak is. If it is on one of the valves or connections we can usually replace it and there should be no problem squeezing more years from your current unit. However, if the leak is in the tank itself or on one of the seams caused by rust, a complete replacement would be the wisest thing to do.

Units are designed to last 10 to 15 years so consider the age of your water heater when making a decision. Purchasing a new unit will probably even save money and energy in the long run considering the efficiency of units currently on the market.
